'Picture This' is an app that can identify 1,000,000+ plants daily with over 98% accuracy. It is like a personal plant expert in your pocket! I'm not a seasoned gardener and this app has helped in picking flowers that go well with certain veggies. It has also helped me name and learn about plants in passing on our family walks. This app has helped me name and learn about the many trees we have on the paths of the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge nature trails. It's also helped me learn about native plant species in my area. In my opinion it's been better than google when wanting to get down and dirty with plants, shrubs and trees. Bonus, it even provides plant care tips! A few other features that I have found to be helpful are the "Toxic Plants", "Allergies Plants" and the 'Tips' section such as how to keep pests away from your flowerpots; really beneficial. I found it wonderful that the app wants to aid in protecting curious kiddos and pets
